What should I take a CSE at IIITD or a CSE at IIT Ropar or IIT Dhanbad?

IIT institutions will always have a better tag in terms of reputation and value of degree when it comes to choosing between any other universities. Although IIT Patna and IIT Dhanbad are fairly new branches of IIT, the services and quality of education is rapidly improving and has become almost equivalent to some of the old IIT institutes.

Faculty at IIITD is much better than the IITs but one of my friends opted for IIT Patna seeing the ‘IIT’ tag. The CSE branch is constantly improving every year and choosing an IIT campus will ensure a diverse, highly academic and comparatively better peer group to be part of.

The table below shows a brief overview of the institutes:

Features:

IIT Dhanbad and IIT Ropar offer much better campus with modern infrastructure, updated lab facilities, excellent faculty members, huge library resources, good hostel facilities and more.

Student Life:

IIT campuses are clearly known for conducting the best extra-curricular activities and events. They conduct cultural fests, workshops and seminars as part of the teaching module and also have multiple inter-disciplinary activities across the semester.

Branches:

• IIT campuses offer a higher number of branch specializations and also offers programs in niche subjects, which gives students more options to choose from based on their choice of study. 
• The institutions are backed by research facilities to encourage students to take up research as part of their module if preferred.

Placements:

• The placements at IIT are much more diverse in terms of number of companies and types of companies that take part. 
• They offer much more job opportunities with core companies within the CSE department. 
• Some of the top recruiters are Amazon, Capgemini and Adobe.

Therefore, given a choice, students must choose to opt for an IIT campus as compared to IIITD. Delhi has an advantage due to its location but IITs surpasses all the factors.
